What Is Arthritis?
Arthritis isn’t a single condition—it’s a general term for joint inflammation that can take many forms. The most common types include:
– Osteoarthritis – often age-related, caused by wear and tear on the joints
– Rheumatoid arthritis – an autoimmune disorder that affects joint lining
– Psoriatic arthritis – linked with the skin condition psoriasis
– Gout – caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints
Symptoms often include:
– Joint pain, stiffness, or swelling
– Decreased range of motion
– Warmth or redness around a joint
– Symptoms that worsen with activity or after long periods of rest
How True Care Medical Group Can Help
At True Care Medical Group, arthritis treatment is personalized—because no two patients are exactly alike. Your care may involve:
1. Thorough Evaluation
The providers begin with a careful review of your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. If needed, blood tests or imaging may be used to confirm a diagnosis and determine the type of arthritis.
2. Medication Management
Depending on your diagnosis, your provider may recommend anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroids, or disease-modifying drugs to reduce flare-ups and protect joint health.
3. Lifestyle Guidance
Managing arthritis often involves more than medication. You may receive advice on: – Low-impact exercise routines – Joint-friendly nutrition – Weight management – Stress reduction techniques
4. Physical Therapy & Movement Support
In some cases, gentle stretching and strengthening can relieve pressure on the joints. Your provider may recommend at-home exercises or connect you with local physical therapy options.
5. Referrals When Needed
If your condition requires advanced care from a specialist such as a rheumatologist or orthopedic doctor, True Care’s team will help coordinate the referral and follow-up care.
